Description

If you try to perform a copy from one sibling branch using an absolute path to
the current branch inside a working copy, subversion crash 

svn: E200033: database is locked, executing statement 'RELEASE   s1'


How to reproduce:
Checkout project
- svn checkout URL /home/svn/myproject

Go into a sub-directory of the project
- cd /home/svn/myproject/A/B/C/D

Try to copy a file from a sibbling branch.
- svn copy /home/svn/myproject/Z/X/Y/X/myFileToCopy .

Expected result:

File myFileToCopy is copied inside the /home/svn/myproject/A/B/C/D directory,
which is the current directory.


Actual Result:
svn: E200033: database is locked, executing statement 'RELEASE   s1'


Workaround:
Go to a mutual parent and perform the copy there.
cd /home/svn/myproject
svn copy Z/X/Y/X/myFileToCopy A/B/C/D
